Button Buddies
Hidy Ho stampers,
Today I needed to make a few cards to send out. Here is what I came up with.
Stamp Sets: Button Buddies, Four Frames, Friendly Phrases
Ink: Pool Party (LOVE THAT COLOR)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Pool Party, 2011-2013 In Color Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Designer Printed Brads 2011-2013 In Color; Big Shot; Perfect Pennants; Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate; 2 1/2" Circle Punch; Decorative Label Punch; Pool Party 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon
I'm very pleased with the card. I just love the new brads and the ruffled ribbon is adorable. Remember I'm doing a ribbon share, if you'd like to be put on the list, let me know.
I used the new Fancy Fan Letter Press Plate to get that gorgeous background. Go ahead, look back up there, did you miss it? Well if you saw the card in person you wouldn't. I like to spray rubbing alcohol on my cardstock before I run it through, this makes the paper "mold" to the die. It comes out much crisper. Why didn't I use just plain water to wet the paper? Because the alcohol dries faster.
In the afternoon, we decided to go to the Capital District Scottish Games. They were amazing. Listening to these groups gives me goosebumps!
And of course there was lots of food.
Just amazing.
It was a wonderful day!
I hope you enjoyed your day…every minute of it! Thank you for stopping by.
Subscribe to the comments for this postAnother Great Stamping Get Together
Hidy Ho Stampers,
Today was my monthly stamping get together with my teammates. It was an exceptionally awesome day….there were great demonstrations, totally awesome swaps and out of this world make and takes. Here are a few pictures…
Barb Stomieroski did a demonstration on Double Embossing.
Here is what it looks like. It was amazingly easy. Thank you Barb.
This was one of our make and takes. Everyone KNOWS how much I love my punches, how cute is this!
And this card was a card and a bookmark all in one! The Two tags die (#115954) was used to make the bookmark.
Here is a view of the side. We attached a magnet on the inside. LOVE IT!
And how adorable is this card. I just love all them. This was done with the the stamp set call Button Buddies and Delicate Doilies.
And now here is a picture tutorial of a new way to do the Fork Bow. First start with about a 12" piece of ribbon and place it so that bottom piece is longer than the top piece (the bottom piece is the one that we will be tieing around the fork).
Take the bottom piece and wrap it over the top piece.
Now put it through the bottom middle tong.
Take that same piece and bring it up through the top (same middle tong).
Now take the top piece and the bottom piece and tie them together in the middle.
You are still looking at the back after it is tied.
Turn it over and it looks like this….so stinken cute.
Then slide it off your fork and this is what it looks like.
This is a little different than the first way I taught you. It looks exactly the same when done, just done a little different. If you have any quesitons, let me know.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day.
Punch Art and more…
Hidy Ho stampers,
Phew has it been busy around here. So today's post is just going to be short and a little of this and a little of that…first…a friend asked if I had a punch page for a peach. I didn't but thought…hmmmmm how hard could it be. So this is what I came up with…
Not bad huh?! :0) I thought it came out nice!
Next I have a tip for you. My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease before it became popular (20 years ago). Back then, very few people new what it was or what to do for her. BUT one of the things we knew she couldn't do is to LICK an envelope because it is made with wheat paste. So instead of licking envelopes, what we do is use our "aqua painters" (# 103954)to moisten the envelope. See the pictures below…
Pretty clever right??? okay keep going…I'm not done yet…
See??? I told you I've been busy…finishing up from Stamp Camp gifts, and getting ready for Convention gifts. Sooooooo much fun!
Well that wraps it up for today, I told you it was a little of this and a little fo that. Thank you for stopping by…see you tomorrow.
Corner Punches also revisited
Hidy Ho Stampers,
I'm going to revisit another post I did a lonnnnng time ago. I've been using the corner punches again and my guests have asked me to re-post the dimensions for these punches so here you go.
You really want to make these templates and use them to size up your layers for your project.
Here are the dimensions:
1 15/16” square - layer using the 1 3/8" square punch
2 3/8” square - layer 1 13/16"
2 7/8” square - layer 2 5/16"
3 ¼” square - layer 2 11/16"
3 13/16 square - layer 3 1/4"
4 ¼” square - layer 3 5/8"
4 ¾” square - layer 4 1/8"
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are still using the OLD cutter, you really need upgrade and make a very good investment in our Stampin' Up! cutter found on page 199 of the big catalog (#104152). You really can't guess on these measurements, they need to be accurate, this cutter shows measurements right down to the 1/16". Don't you upgrade your car? furniture? CLOTHES? Don't be outdated…go for it…click the SHOP NOW button and just do it! You'll be very happy you did.
Make sure you go to my online store and check out all the "Last Chance" lists. There are items that are no longer available. Act quickly so you are not shut out of an item that you really want (especially those punches). Thank you for stopping by.
Deb’s Team Creative Challenge
Hidy Ho Stampers,
Wait until you see the creative challenge winners this month. These gals are unbelievable. Since we were "Celebrating Women" this month, the challenge was to make something that fit that title…here is what Christina came up with…
This is a side view. Isn't it stunning. The mailbox is made out of our DSP, it's not a metal mailbox.
Here is the view from the front. Didn't she do an outstanding job. Talk about "OVER THE TOP"!
Thank you for Christina for participating. She won a $25 gift certificate for product from SU from me.
Thank you for stopping by and make sure you stop by tomorrow, I will show you more from our Team Meeting and more of the entries from our challenge…stay tuned!
Deb’s Team Get Together
Hidy Ho Stampers,
Well it's been VERY busy around here. Today we had our team meeting and … yes…it was AWESOME. One of the things we did was watch a fantastic demonstration from one of our top demonstrators – Rosanne Sammler. She actually did two demonstrations. Here are some pictures…
Here is Rosanne demonstrating the pop-up card.
Here are three samples of gift card holders.
A close up of the graduation card, she even showed us how to make the tassel.
Here is the "coffee cup" open.
And here is the "thank you" card halfway open.
Her second demonstration was showing us the Birthday pop out card.
Isn't this the most adorable card you've ever seen?!!!!
And here is that cute owl punch again with the wood grain background for a tree. TOO CUTE!
And the inside.
This is what the inside looked like. She used the Word Window punch to punch up the pop ups!
Another close up at a different angle.
Thank you for stopping by. You WILL want to keep checking my blog this week because I have more Team Meeting samples. It was one of the BEST get togethers we've ever had. Wait until you see what we did! Take care for now!
Love those CUPCAKES
Hidy Ho Stampers,
One of the items carried over from the Occasions Mini to the Summer Mini is the Cupcake Punch. Here is a sample used with that punch and cardstock.
mmmmmm, I love food cards!
Thank you for stopping by my blog.
Petal Cone Die
Hidy Ho Stampers,
As you know I just love the Petal Cone Die. I was playing around with it this week and came up with this cute little basket. I first saw it on Shelli's blog and decided to try it for myself. I think it came out cute.
Front View
Side View.
Other supplies used were the Designer Series Paper called Springtime Vintage #121782 found on page 15 and the Vintage Flower Adornments #121879 also found on page 15 of the Occasions Mini Catalog. If you are interested in any of these, they will disappear after Saturday, April 30th. You need to contact me asap if you'd like anything from that mini!
Hope you enjoyed my post.
We are sooooo excited….
Hidy Ho Stampers,
Well I've been holding it in but now I can let it out!!!! JOSH and MEGAN GOT ENGAGED! YIPPPEEEEE….I'm so excited. So what do you think?
Here is the ring he picked out for her. He's the "Rock Doc" (he has his PhD in Geology) so do you think he picked the right rock? It's gorgeous.
And Moose, helped to pop the question…do you like his Bow Tie? He dressed for the occasion.
And look at his little heart, it reads…."Megan will you marry me?"
And here they are….they are so excited!
With those two in mind, I created this card…
Isn't this pretty? Of course it is. I used the new Four Frames stamp set #123440 wood mount or 123442 clear mount and the new Designer Series Paper Paisley Petals #122367. You can order either or both of these these. They have to be ordered before Saturday, April 30th. So how can you order them? Spend $20 on any Stampin' Up! products and become eligible to purchase both the Four Frames Set and or the Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper. Hurry, time is almost up!
Also used on this card are the Baja Breeze Seam Binding for the bow, the Decorative Label Punch that matches our Stamp Set. See how it all coordinates.
So let the fun begin…. :0)
Elmo!
Hidy Ho stampers,
At my stamping team meetings we always have a demonstration. This month we had a demo on how to use our Big Shot in a different way. Bev used it to make an Elmo card. Here it is…
Isn't he the cutest little thing. Thank you Bev for teaching us how to make a card out of one of our dies.
I also do a raffle. All the product for this month were from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog. You get free raffle tickets for different things. It's all free to the gals that come. They were so excited to get new product in their hands for free.
So how do you get tickets? Come and see! As a guest to my team meeting, you too are eligible for free tickets! Contact me to find out how to participate.
